How a catfish poacher became big bass king of the world

Jimmy Houston for 100...

I know Jimmy Houston. Tell me more.

Man, that writer was sure dedicated to his mission to expose the guy. Very well written and meticulously researched.

That writer sure was obsessed with busting this guy.. he basically stalked him until he caught him snagging fish.. did y’all see the picture of that camo camera on page 8 or 9?

I was gonna say the writer was bitter. Maybe rightfully so

The KW guide has since past away, he was in a light tackle club in Miami, he started out with jewfish records out of Flamingo. Then, started guiding out of KW.

He “caught” lots of World and Met tournament records.



No, not Houston but heard stories about him, it is a different world renowned bass celebrity. My cousin caught him fishing shiners on Okeechobee a few days before a tournament and caging the fish.



The early big bass tournament days were the Wild West, there were more bass caught the week before Big O tournaments than the day of the tourney. Lol

I’d have to guess Roland Martin then.

I liked Orlando. Anybody could launch a boat and fish where he went most the time. Not fishing some private gravel pits somewhere

I liked his shows also and I’m throwing out a blind *** guess. He seemed to just disappear. I have know clue

[Gladesgator]

Not Orlando Wilson

Just finished. There’s a ton of people that deserve blame in that timeline....

So why’d the dude get ****** about long breaking into his house and threatening his 13 yo son, and then turn around and go stay at long’s house during the fire?

Dang that was crazy. What a lying cheating pos scumbag.

This reminds me of of the Marc Anthony dip**** that created the guille suit and was always "killing" these giant bucks on the ground supposedly wearing that thing. Turns out he was just buying giant sheds and doing some taxi work in the field and attaching these antlers to smaller bucks he killed.

Was definitely a good 'ol boy. Theres footage from FLW this year where he's running the boat around without his life jacket on and of course he wasn't DQ'd Its his last year before retiring so I guess they looked the other way.

Some of the questions I had also. Not just that some continued to fish with him after they seen him doing sketchy stuff. These guys were “intimidated” pretty easily..

Just a pure guess. I heard he was a wild one back in the day.

2nd guess would be Roland Martin...just another guess.

Following the story, they didn’t all/any have much proof. Sounds like they were relying on a fake reputation he seemed to be able to uphold.

What’s gets me, is that all of those lakes are really small, compared to what we all know. How they didn’t catch on sooner by just watching is what I don’t get.
